The Most Terrifying Sound You've Never Heard

  • There's lots of ways to make music sound scary, but the most terrifying technique of all may be one you can't actually hear. Infrasound is sound waves that are too low for the human ear to perceive, instead creating a deep, rumbling sensation that unnerves you without seeming to come from anywhere, and it's becoming more and more common in horror movie scores. Low-level infrasound is all around us, all the time, but at high volumes we don't know a lot about its effects on the human body. The possibilities are fascinating, though, and they add a real-life scary edge to the phenomenon.

      Not to be a nerd, its actually not wiggly air it's the atoms in the air than travel up and down to pass something known as "Sound Waves" sound can't travel in space since there are no atoms to vibrate to pass sound waves, so that's why space is just .......... Also, Sound does not travel up and down it travels " the longitude way" where the atoms don't move up and down but just bump into one another and go back to there spot IT DOES NOT GO UP AND DOWN but sideways, basically like you push and pull a slinky. The waves that do go up and down are Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, ultraviolet, X-Ray, and finally GammaRay. I ordered them up to the least harmful(Radio Waves) to the most harmful (Gammer Ray). You know what why tell you this when you can search it up online :/ I gave u a whole lesson.

    There's a creature that is so well camouflaged that it is almost invisible in its environment. It can see you, it can smell you from a rather long distance and it can track you as it moves silently. You can not see it or hear it, yet you can feel it as it stalks you through the forest. Is it a mythical creature from a monster movie? A werewolf, perhaps? No, it's a Siberian tiger. They growl in infrasound. That's next level horror movie creature right there.

They literally eat brown bears that are bigger than grizzlies.

      @@CarassiusAu I guess you're right? I'm not sure if I meant length or height, but either way, tigers still jump higher and further than you'd think. Think about how good of jumpers cats are, and now apply that to a tiger. And yes, I'm aware that the square cube law is a thing, but tigers are much, much stronger than cats.
      As far as I could find, tigers can jump over 6 meters in height, which is already impressive, and not that far off from 10 meters. That makes it the highest jumping animal along with kangaroos. The long jump record for a human is almost 9 meters, so if a tiger can jump that high, just imagine how long of a jump it could do.

    For an idea of how much power is required to generate a 240 decibel noise, the nuclear weapons dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were at around 248 decibels each. So roughly halve the size of those explosions (they were around 20kt of TNT equivalent, so let's say 10kt of TNT) and that's what it takes to produce a 240dB sound.
    Needless to say, if you're close enough to a 240dB sound to hear it, you probably have bigger problems on your hands.

    Speaking of scary, why do I find the chord progression Cm-Db-Bb-Bm so terrifying?

    • @12tone
      @12tone  6 років тому +12

      I suspect it's a combination of the two: You've got a lot of Phrygian sounds in there, and you're also mostly moving the root by half-steps.

    • @cabutchei
      @cabutchei 6 років тому +3

      What's going here is that you start out with a cm,which serves as a probable root chord,then proceeds to a Db. This naturally sounds dark as it's the proper phrygian sonority. Then the Bb comes along to break the hearer's expectations as it abruptly leaves phrygian. The short interval between the root of the Db chord (db itself) and the major third of the Bb (d) builds tension. It then lands at bminor,which is again unexpected. That's a deceptive resolution,when the progression doesn't rest where it was "supposed" to and it's very common in horror soundtrack. The overall short intervals,the resolution,the mixed modes,all that contributes to the eerie sensation. Hope that made any sense.

The title is "INFRASOUND AND LOW FREQUENCY NOISE - Ljubljana 2018" It's damaging to humans and animals - and it can kill. It's not just the noise and amplitude, but also the pulse "code"; wind turbines falls exactly on a harmonic series. It travels through buildings; it's all below 10hz - very, very damaging. (I would post the link, but I understand if I do, you won't see the comment - apparently UA-cam considers those spam.

    I really hope there aren't any zoos near cinemas which show horror movies. Lots of animals can communicate using infrasound - elephants can apparently communicate over tens of miles, perhaps a hundred or more. Part of a thunder storm's sound is in that range and nearing the end of the dry season, when the storms start, elephants will suddenly start migrating in the direction of the storms. They know that by the time they get there, there'll be water to drink and maybe some grass. But if they could pick up infrasound from multiple showings of the same film during the days and into the late nights, they'd never get any sleep!

    In 1974, the Movie, "Earthquake", with Charlton Heston, had a gimmick. They installed truly massive sub-woofers in high end theaters, which had never been done before. They called it, "Sensurround". Not to be confused with the later development of Dolby surround. When the eponymous earthquake scenes occurred in the movie, the soundtrack utilized the sub-woofers and the audience squealed with delight. That is, while watching death and mayhem on screen, because, that's what people are like.

    This was interesting, so I did some testing of my own. I know the bottom of my hearing range is around 24 hz. I took a tone generator app that has a "subwoofer test" function where it basically does a smooth downwards portamento between any two pitches,and I set it to go between 30 hz and 1 hz with my device set set at maximum volume through a high quality set of studio earphones.
    Between 25 hz and 22 hz was a dead zone for me. From 25 hz to 10 hz I could hear individual beats of the sine wave. 10 hz and below didn't function in my headset.
    My hearbeat began to increase at around 15 hz and I noticed my breating quickening around 12 hz. Pretty neat stuff.

My stereo system has 2 speakers a separate amplifier with am/ fm, separate cd player and phonograph, I have a separate subwoofer but never hooked it up, in fact I don’t know how to use it and I just picked up at a garage sale a new Sony amplifier, well its new to me and it sound better than my old one. Will my stereo system work? Thanks Tammy p.

    I don’t know, every time the chemical plants near me are flaring, I hear a mixture of extremely low frequencies. I know where it’s coming from, but it still keeps me up at night, and is increasing my anxiety, twitches, and tics. It’s awful. 😔

    I was watching this on my TV, and while I couldn't hear (or it couldn't produce) the lowest tone, it has an audio compressor to even out the volume difference between channels (and obnoxiously loud ads), which got triggered and lowered your voice to barely audible levels when the tone was playing.

    As this video progressed it gave me a huge sense of paranoia for no apparent reason and gave me the eye twitch you talked about but are you actually playig those rumbles throughout the video and gradually making them louder?

    I heard of a castle in Britain that had tours of its dungeon. Everyone agreed that the place had a bad "vibe", appropriately enough. No one felt comfortable in the dungeon and many blamed it on a haunting. Further research showed that a factory nearby had a very heavy machinery that were vibrating in Infrasound and the ground conducted the vibrations to the underground dungeon.

    I recently got a HSU sub that kicks out 18hz pretty well. I have been surprised by how much it rattles the entire house; I thought my housemate had snuck up and was shaking the couch while watching King of the Monsters. Miniatures in display cabinets get moved around and knocked over, it vibrated a cup off the coffee table, and it'll rattle cabinets and doors at particular frequencies.
    I wonder if old houses with poor wind sealing create infrasound when high winds blow through them, like when the car windows are rolled down a certain way at highway speeds. Obviously, you know the source of the intense low freqs in the car, but in a rickety old house, people don't think about wind unless they're hearing the higher pitched whistling. Things falling off shelves, disturbing "vibes" (pun intended), a drop in temperature, and unknown noises, combined with the visual aspect of an old house could easily create a feeling of supernatural disturbances.

      In a small venue? For the fun, Larger venues? so the people at the back can hear it, In any case at a live show of any real volume, and by that I mean any live show with amplification, you should be wearing ear protection (there are exceptions, most likely a coffee shop performer isn't going to be loud enough to be a problem, but a rock show, metal show, pop show, a lot of rap shows, the volume is loud enough you should be using ear protection and it can help with that vertigo feeling that happens with high sound pressure.
      (this coming from a metalhead that frequents live shows, seriously, take earpro with you even if you don't end up needing it)

    If you keep clicking the red bar around when the 20 hz sound is playing, you can hear an audible thump.

    • @jimstanley_49
      @jimstanley_49 5 років тому +1

      That's because at 20Hz, the time between peaks or troughs is long enough that it's pretty easy to randomly start at a point where the soundtrack is near a peak or trough. Your sound card tries to get the signal to that level instantly, and it sounds like a thump.

    This makes me think of some early recordings I made (and some I've heard friends make) that hurt my ears. They aren't particularly loud sounding, and although they've got distortion I've heard things with much more distortion that doesn't bother me. They aren't even particularly dissonant.
    They were made with a really cheap microphone. I tried compression, but that didn't help. Actually, just the other day someone posted something on UA-cam where the harmonica part hurt my ears (usually I like harmonica, that's my instrument). It was low in the mix, but still hurt. I actually posited that there was a frequency in the mix that I couldn't hear that was causing the problem but didn't have any evidence.
    So, is this a thing? If it is, how do you A) prevent it from happening in a recording (my current setup doesn't have that problem, but I've been asked by friends with that problem what they were doing wrong and B) Can you fix it in old recordings?
    :)

    • @12tone
      @12tone  6 років тому +2

      It's probably a thing in theory, but that frequency would need to be incredibly loud in order to cause pain. I'm not really sure what else would be causing it, though, so it might be worth trying to EQ away the high end and see if that helps.

    I have some very ugly-looking but fantastic-sounding Koss PortaPro headphones. I got them because of the extremely wide frequency response (15-25,000Hz). My normal Logitech speakers couldn't even produce the 80Hz tone (lame). I watched this video a second time with my headphones instead and the 20Hz tone blew me away!
    Anyway, all this to say I was surprised I could hear the 20Hz tone! What do I win? ;)

    Some researchers are saying that the tyrannosaurus , was producing a low rumbling sound, instead of the roar in Jurassic Park , with infra sound components, and were using the infra sounds as mean of communication like the Elephants.
    But with our little speakers of our PC it does not give justice to the real effect i guess.
